Bellman CX-25 Stove Top Espresso Maker With Steamer

The Bellman CX-25 Espresso Maker makes espresso using the steam method, that is akin to the stove top espresso you get from a moka pot.

The unique feature of this Bellman espresso maker is the additional milk steaming wand, you can efficiently use the same pressure to steam your milk for cappuccinos and caffé lattes!

Tips for using the Bellman CX-25 Espresso Maker:

1. You'll need a Stove-top espresso grind which is not too fine. It situates itself right between your standard fine espresso grind and drip grinds.

2. Avoid tamping the coffee. This will create too much pressure and is totally unnecessary. Simply fill to top.

3. Add a bit less water than suggested by the Bellman's interior notches (3-6-9). You'll still get enough steam & water for your espresso, but with far less wait time.

4. To know when your coffee is almost ready, leave the espresso tap slightly open while heating, and place a small stainless steel recipient underneath it. When you notice a few drops of espresso come out, shut the tap completely, wait about 30 seconds before reopening it. Your espresso will run and once done, move on to your frother!

5. Frothing the right texture of milk takes technique. Just like a real Barista, you'll have to adjust your steam wand height and position in order to achieve your desired texture.

Please Note: The Bellman is not designed to work on induction hobs.
